Design of the Heart

"Hi, you must be Jossilyn's friends."

"Yeah, we were getting ready to leave and noticed that she hadn't come back yet is everything good here?", asked a tall muscular boy.

"Oh yes, but I think I broke her a few minutes ago", I chuckled, "she hasn't moved from that position for like a solid three to five minutes."

He looked past me to Jossilyn who was still sitting on my couch and chuckled, "I guess you did. What did you do to my poor baby sister?"

"I might have flirted with her a tiny bit but nothing happened and she flirted first so I didn't see the big deal."

"Wait a minute she FLIRTED with you", said a short black haired girl from behind Jossilyn's brother.

"Yeah, why, is that like supposed to be a big deal or something?"

"She's never flirted with anyone. We didn't even think she knew how", chuckled the girl.

"Yeah plus she turns down like every girl and guy who hit on her anyway", said the red headed boy who was also back there standing next to the black haired girl.

"Well I mean she didn't turn me down I don't think. She just froze.", I laughed.

"Well I mean who could blame her look at you. You're stunning", said the olive toned muscular boy standing next to Jossilyn's brother.

"Hey, man don't hit on my sister's girl", Jossilyn's brother laughed and playfully hit his friend. then he turned to me and said, "Do you mind if I come in and get her if she doesn't come home with me mom will ask a shit ton of questions and I'm not in the mood for all that tonight.

"First off, I'm not her girl.", I said before turning to the other boy, "secondly thank you", I said and flipped my hair at him, "and lastly none of you are coming into this house until I at least know your names,", I laughed.

"Oh shit my bad I totally forgot to introduce us. This is Oliver", he said point to the olive toned man who just got done hitting on me, "Vera", he said motioning to the short black haired girl, "Dexter", he motioned to red headed boy, "and finally I am Brett", he said smiling.

"Well it is so nice to meet you all come on in."

By this time Jossilyn had come to her senses and noticed that her friends were here.

"Hey guys, what's up are you heading back?", she asked walking over to join the group.

"Yeah we came up here to get you baby sis", said Brett.

"Sorry didn't realize we were interrupting your little date", Oliver teased.

"We're not on a date Oliver shut up", Jossilyn said blushing.

"Well shit! and here I thought we got the awkward first date out of the way", I rolled my eyes, "guess that means we'll just have to do this all over again, angel.", I said knowing what it would do to Jossilyn.

Her eyes got wide and her mouth flew open. No one said anything so I decided too break the silence myself, "Close your mouth beautiful, you'll catch a fly", I whispered in her ear and then winked and walked away.

"Oh shit that girl has game. She wasn't even flirting with me and I'm into boys, yet I'm still turned on by that.", Dexter joked.

"Well thank you honey, too bad you're into guys you're a cutie", I teased.

"Ok I retract my statement. I was into guys, however now I am only into you", Dexter laughed, and so did everyone else. Except for Jossilyn she was still blushing from what had just happened.

"Hey, we never did get your name sweet cheeks", Oliver said.

"Oh right of course," I laughed, "that's because I didn't give it to you."

Oliver rolled his eyes, "Ooo, a girl with an attitude.  I like it."

"The feeling is not mutual and my name is Anna."

"OH MY GOD! I KNEW YOU LOOKED FAMILIAR!", Vera shouted and hit Dexter. "You're famous! Your name is Anna Scott. You're one of the daughters of Mark and Olivia Scott. Founders of Core fashion! That's so cool. Oh my god I love you.  Can we take a picture?" 

Everyone's eyes got really wide and their mouths' flew open.

"I love the new summer line you teased today.  Are you going to launch it while your here?", Dexter asked.

"Are you here for a surprise meet and greet?", Vera shouted.

"Oh my God can you tell your dad that I love him.  His business casual clothes make for great golf apparel at the country club.  Oh my God would your dad play a round of golf with me?", Oliver exclaimed.

"Bro, that last line of sunglasses he came out with were fire", Brett said looking at his friend.

"Get out", I said calmly, but no one moved. "Get out", I said a little louder and sterner, but still no one moved.  "OUT!", I shouted and scared everyone enough this time that they all ran out the door and onto the back porch.

"Don't tell ANYONE that you saw me here, or I promise you will regret it for the rest of your life.", and I slammed the door in their faces.

I knew deep down when I first started planning this trip that it didn't matter where I went I would not be able to escape the family name.  Don't get me wrong, I didn't hate my family, what we did, or the fact that we were so successful.  I just never liked being in the spotlight, which is why I hardly ever posted myself in pictures when I was endorsing lines.  I either posted the items laying down or on someone else.

I felt bad for slamming the door in their faces like that, especially because something felt different when I was with Jossilyn.  I was kind of glad when she didn't know who I was right off when we met because I knew that whatever did or did not happen after that would be because of how she felt in the moment and not because of who I was.  However, that was all over now that her friends knew who I was right off.

After that I wasn't in the mood to do anything else that night so I just unpacked what I would need for the night and left the rest for tomorrow.
